I have 148 & 119 currently @ on back side of house, wants to install bev on front (thats only way can get signal)
For that I will need to run cable from bev lnb to switch which is with dn dishes about 50 feet away and then there is cable running from switch to receiver.

Now will this affect quality of bev signal?? is there certain length which starts affecting quality??
by the way i got Disq switch.

The length affect the voltage and you may receive only on Vertical, i experiment it.

okay, installed 100 feet from lnb to switch, then there is existing 40-50 feet cable going from switch to basement,which comes to tv on ground floor.

no drop in quality or signal at all.it is rg6.
